Belgravia
Belgravia is a district in West London within the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea. It has very highly-priced residential properties and is known to be one of the wealthiest districts in the world. It lies south west of Buckingham Palace. The district gets its name from one of the Duke of Westminster’s subsidiary titles, Viscount Belgrave.
Belgravia’s Grosvenor Estate continues to be owned by a family property firm, namely the Duke of Westminster’s Grosvenor Group. However, the estate has been compelled to sell a great deal of its freeholds to its tenants, on account of the Leasehold Reform Act 1967.
Most of Belgravia was once owned by Richard Grosvenor, 2nd Marquess of Westminster, who created it in the course of the 1820s and onwards. Thomas Cubitt primarily worked on the project. You'll find plenty of grand terraces at white stucco houses focused around Belgrave Square and Eaton Square. Many embassies are located within this location, particularly in Belgrave Square.
Pimlico Road, on the southern side of Belgravia, is well-known for its antique shops and high-end furniture showrooms. 1 established brand along the road is Arthur Brett. Regardless of these shops, it’s a quiet district of London and neighbouring districts are significantly busier with more shops, offices and hotels.
